Running the following

agrid = Grid[{{Style["hello", Bold]}}]
ImportString[ExportString[agrid, "PNG"], "PNG"]
ImportString[ExportString[agrid, "EPS"], "EPS"]

spits out

hello
hello
"hello"

That is, the EPS exporter included the quotation marks in the output. Same for PDF. Without the Grid, all exporters leave out the quotation marks. What magic do I need to get rid of the quotation marks in the PDF?

It also worked smoothly after I updated Ubuntu to 13.10 (it worked for sure for a week after update). When I tried to start Mathematica today by executing… >>> More

I have Mathematica 5 - a powerful CAS. I have a cheap netbook (running Windows XP), wich not only is too slow to run mathmatica on, I doubt it has the harddrive space.
